Jones returned from two tumultuous years to regain his place as the No. 1 fighter in the world, only for it to come out he failed a drug test one day before his win over Daniel Cormier at UFC 214. He has maintained his innocence and will appeal.

There is plenty of "GOAT" talk surrounding Johnson following his historic win over Reis. The victory tied Anderson Silva's mark of 10 consecutive title defenses. Next up for Johnson: setting a record of his own.

McGregor is a two-weight UFC champion, and the current lightweight champion. Now he's coming off a spectacularly lucrative boxing match against Floyd Mayweather. When it comes to his next move, one thing's for sure: He has options.

As far as Dillashaw is concerned, he should still be the UFC's bantamweight champion. He felt he was robbed in a decision loss to Dominick Cruz in 2016, but at least he's now in a terrific position to challenge for that title again.

Woodley's title reign has been widely criticized, as his defenses over Stephen Thompson and Maia were incredibly slow five-round fights. He is, nevertheless, the undisputed champion and he did defend every single one of Maia's takedowns at UFC 214. You may not enjoy the way Woodley is fighting, but there's no denying he's one of the best in the world.

UFC 211 brought dos Santos, the previous man to defeat Miocic (back in 2014). It resulted in another first-round knockout. That's five knockouts in a row for Cleveland's own. Dominant heavyweight champ? Could it be?

Heartbreak for 'DC' at UFC 214, followed by the announcement of a failed drug test by his rival Jon Jones. Once again, Cormier is the UFC's light heavyweight champion, but not in a way he ever wanted. Unfortunate turn of events in this all-time rivalry.

Nurmagomedov has had some difficulty staying healthy, but when active, he has done nothing but win. His style appears to be kryptonite for any fighter out there, and he's fast closing in on a UFC title.

Garbrandt's rise has been nothing if not meteoric, and he's outperforming high expectations. A prospect-versus-prospect bout with Thomas Almeida? Garbrandt finished it in the first round. A UFC title fight against Cruz, the best bantamweight of all time? Garbrandt schooled him. If this keeps up, we'll have a crossover star on our hands.
